Derbyshire Schools Championship 2012

Jamie Booth won the Derbyshire Schools Championship at Chevin Golf Club on Friday May 11th when he shot a round of 76 gross, net 68 (css71).

He was the only competitor out of the whole field of players who actually shot under their handicap.

Conditions were fairly sunny but a very strong wind made conditions very difficult  especially on the front nine holes and this was reflected in the scores that came in.

There were in excess of 60 competitors, the largest number that have entered this competition - and also the largest proportion of category one players.

Jamie is shown in out photo (taken by his Dad, Martin), after the presentation.

Mark Porter

Mark came second in the regional final for the 5th Andelucia Junior European Open, in association with the daily Express, and has therefore qualified for the finals to be held in Andelucia, Spain.

Emily Waterson

Teenager, Emily scooped a national championship (best gross at the UK Public Course Championship) on the Eden Course at St Andrews. Emily, who won EWGA’s Abraham Trophy as England’s most improved girl golfer of 2009, remarked: “To not only visit and play golf at St Andrews, but to win a trophy, is a dream come true“.
